Abstract
In the spring of 2016, as it became increasingly likely that Donald Trump would win the Republican presidential nomination, Robert Kagan published an article in the Washington Post with the ominous title “This is how fascism comes to America.” The conservative Kagan took a wide swipe, coupling the Founding Fathers’ fear of a disenchanted mob surrendering to a demagogue to Trump—his “style” and his “resentments.” Any approach to Donald Trump’s presidency arguably cannot avoid adopting a similar perspective. For if there is an overarching question, a kind of meta-theme to this administration, it is the question of the stability of the democratic institutions in the United States.
